Benefits of technology

This configuration prevents display inconsistencies from polarizing plate expansion, ensures the adhesive does not sag during assembly, and allows for effective hardening of adhesives, thereby enhancing display quality and protecting drive circuits.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, moisture enters from the side of the polarizing plate POL2, and a problem arises, such that the polarizing plate POL2 expands in the vicinity of the end portion.
This deformation becomes severe as the adhesive ADH becomes thinner.
When this inconsistent gap region IRG reaches the inside of the display region AR, a problem arises, such that yellowish, frame-like inconsistency, for example, appears in the display.
In the case of the configuration shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when the transparent cover and the liquid crystal display panel shift in position at the time of pasting, a problem arises, such that the adhesive protrudes and sags from the substrate on the upper side (corresponding to the second substrate SUB2 in FIG. 11).

first embodiment

[0094]FIG. 1 is a cross sectional diagram showing the display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective diagram showing the manner in which the display panel and the transparent cover are pasted together according to an example of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a plan diagram showing the transparent cover according to one example of the present invention.

[0095]Here, a case where a liquid crystal display panel is used as the display panel is described as an example. As shown in FIG. 1, the liquid crystal display panel has an insulating, transparent first substrate SUB1 and second substrate SUB2 formed of glass, for example. In addition, the first substrate SUB1 and the second substrate SUB2 are pasted together using a sealing material SL. A liquid crystal layer LC is sandwiched between the first substrate SUB1 and the second substrate SUB2. A sealing material SL is formed in the peripheral portion outside the display region AR of the...

second embodiment

[0107]FIG. 7 is a cross sectional diagram showing the display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a cross sectional diagram showing a portion corresponding to FIG. 1. The basic configuration in the second embodiment is the same as in the first embodiment. The difference from the first embodiment is the location of the end portion of the polarizing plate POL2.

[0108]A case where the end portion of the polarizing plate POL2 is in such a location as to overlap with the sealing material SL is shown as an example of the above described embodiment in FIG. 1. However, there is a problem with this case, such that the adhesive ADH cannot protrude by much of a distance d. Thus, in the second embodiment, which is the present embodiment, an end portion of the polarizing plate POL2 is located on the side closer to the display region AR than the sealing material SL provided around the display region AR.

[0109]As a result, it becomes easy to secure a large d...

third embodiment

[0111]FIG. 8 is a cross sectional diagram showing the display device according to the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a cross sectional diagram along line B-B′ in FIG. 3. The basic configuration in the third embodiment is the same as in the first and second embodiments, and therefore, mainly portions which are different in the configuration are described.

[0112]In the present embodiment, a drive circuit DRV is mounted in the region of the first substrate SUB1 which protrudes from the second substrate SUB2, as described in the first embodiment. In addition, the transparent cover COV is provided so as to cover the drive circuit DRV. In the case where the transparent cover COV is provided so as to cover the drive circuit DRV and there is a space between the two, however, there is a possibility that a problem may arise, such that the transparent cover COV cracks when pressed.

[0113]Therefore, in the present embodiment, the adhesive ADH is also provided between the tra...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to providing a technology for display devices where a transparent cover is pasted on a display panel according to which inconsistencies resulting from expansion of the polarizing plate in the vicinity of an end portion caused by moisture can be prevented, and the adhesive can be prevented from sagging when the display panel and the transparent cover are pasted together. A display device according to the invention is provided with: a liquid crystal display panel having a first substrate, a second substrate provided on the viewer side of the above described first substrate and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the above described first substrate and the above described second substrate; and a transparent cover pasted on the surface of the above described liquid crystal display panel on the above described viewer side using an adhesive. The above described liquid crystal display panel has a polarizing plate between the above described second substrate and the above described transparent cover. The above described adhesive covers the entirety of a side of the above described polarizing plate, and the form of the outer periphery of the above described adhesive in a plane is uneven.
